With 65 BBQ competitors, we’ll be selling pig candy, pulled pork sliders and baby back ribs. Come out and see us at the Santa Anita Park!

The team is gearing up for a competition this weekend in Cathedral City, near Palm Springs, Shorty’s Rib Fest! We are only vending our award winning ‘que three times this year so come on out to our first event of the year!

We will be serving up 200 racks of ribs and pulled pork sliders made from 40 pounds of pulled pork!

Check out our crazy line from last year’s inaugural event…

You can purchase tickets here with an early bird pricing discount until the 7th.

Going in to a first annual event, we normally expect minimal crowds but Shorty’s Rib Fest broke that expectation—blew it out of the water actually.

Gates opened at noon and there was a line in front of our booth by 12:15. Our 3 smokers were filled to capacity and by 2 we had sold out, reloaded the smokers and announced that we would have more ribs at 5:30. At 4:30, a lengthy line developed and within 20 minutes we were sold out for the night.

Below are a few photos from the event, no photos of our smoky sweet and tender ribs as they were out of our hands too fast!
